Juventus players
Hats off to those who They predicted the start of the match. Real on the defensive it was heavily disorganized, but only invited the opposition to the bold attacks and gunfire from a distance. Already in the 8th minute Massimiliano Allegri’s pets have benefited from this, and the one who scolded the Kings for errors, was their pupil. Alvaro Morata hid behind Pepe and struck the ball with a shot Carlos Tevez. Los Blancos over the next minute they were very active, and those where the greatest hopes were pinned (Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez) invisible. After just one glimpse, to strike at the other tones. The Colombian won a duel for the ball, played for the Portuguese on the third meter, and this scored the easiest goal of his career. However, the last word belonged to the hosts. Cheesy fate in action with 57 minutes consisted in the fact that the ball bounced off a shot by Marcelo from Toni Kroos and Juve came out with the Contra, after which was dictated by a penalty for a foul on Carlos Tevezie. The Argentinean came to pick himself and scolded the European champions.
Best player of the match
In our opinion, Alvaro Morata earned the title of most valuable player of the meeting. Someone will say that one goal influenced our decision. Well, no. On 77 minutes when Juventus striker was on the pitch, he worked for the highest score. Gateway, which he won at the beginning of the first semi-final clash, helped him in this, but no movement towards the ball would not have this hit. This distinguishes it from ordinary outstanding footballer: intelligence. Besides, he undertakes offensive actions right decisions, often played on one contact. Such a player in attack formation is a treasure. Carlo Ancelotti may regret that so easily got rid of the 22-year-old.
Worst football match
We hesitated between two competitors Real: Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos. The idea of setting the latter to central midfield alongside Toni Kroos in the long run is not working. The meeting in Turin area, where she played the Madrid “four” was Mijana with ease. In the fight for the ball 29-year-old he did not have to present anything. He was to improve the balance between defensive and offensive, allowing a German to play in and around the penalty area rival, but caused more nervousness in the actions of the Kings. In addition, he had a lot of losses and inaccurate passes. A Welshman? He was on the court, but his presence could not convince even once.
A turning point
It was 41 minutes and 1: 1. The end of the first half belonged to the players of Real. After the equalizing goal caught more slack, longer lived off the ball, chose the right decisions. Even the rivals began to lose by frequently changing their place on the pitch of Los Blancos. Guests came from the corner of the pitch several administrations. The campaign began James, the ball through the legs Carvajal, Kroos, Marcelo went to Isco. The Spaniard found himself inside the penalty area, who had plenty of space, played on the fifth meter, but the one who initiated this exchange of passes he could not accurately direct the ball into the net. James header hit the crossbar. Had just before the end of the first part of the goal for the Kings fell, another would look quite different. Because Real, which leads it Real, who plays Madz. However, with such an instruction that the players of Madrid zaprezenotwali Tuesday evening nothing would be so obvious.
Numbers game:
- 4 – Nobody scored more goals in the Champions League than Cristiano Juventus Turin Ronaldo. The same number of goals against the Old Lady is Hakan Sukur and Ryan Giggs.
- 2 – enough time Real Madrid was eliminated from the competition for the European Cup when losing the first leg semi-final 1: 2 (with Ajax Amsterdam in 1973 and Bayern Munich in 2012).
Our opinion
They would be prey for each of the three semi-finalists. They turned out to be a predator that can scratch and it’s harder than rivals. The question that most will set itself after the first semi-final in Turin, is such that it actually Juve was so strong, and Real so weak? I think both of these arguments are true. Bravery, faith, commitment and consistency in defending gave the Old Lady result as the dream before the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. In turn, the Whites played the worst game of the famous defeat at the Vicente Calderon 0: 4 in February this year. Painful for Los Blancos fans is that this team is extremely dependent on Luka Modrić.
